The teacher needs every bit of a 50-yard classroom. He needs half a football field to work, to move on a still-healing, surgically repaired hip. He needs the room to shuffle, to slide, to try to make things right.He's up, down, on one knee, jumping to his feet, backpedaling here and there. Clapping, spicing in "Yeah, man, that's the one, right there," or maybe "Don't be in a hurry" or "...

Walking away. A man of principle. Always thought that Jake Plummer gave Mike Shanahan a great passer who looked down-right scary on naked boot-legs to the left. It's true, Plummer, a right-hander, could sure throw on the move. Denver looked awesome until it ran into Detroit and Plummer fumbled lunging for more yardage. Oh, well.It's good to see Plummer back. Attaboy!

Sure....the winningest Broncos QB in franchise history teaching a kid that was a Heisman finalist. And you probably referred to benching Jake in favor of Cutler as "a good idea". It's ok, you're probably a Buffs fan, too.

A "man of principle" who's a millionaire because of his customers - the fans - doesn't treat them like this:How long would YOU last at your job if you did that?

That was a punk move on Plummer's move, and I've found that people who pull punk moves are usually punks underneath it all.

Let's hope Klein learns some skills...and skips the attitude.

It was deserved....check out the "blind leading the blind" and "just throwing it up" comments on here by people that still don't get it. All the dude did was win here and person fans who couldn't get over their Elway and Shanahan obsession treated him like garbage.

Winningest Broncos QB in franchise history?

Don't get me wrong, I liked the Plummer era for the most part, but come on...

Did you read the article? Facts are facts.....And yes, everyone knows John won 2 Super Bowls....but it's amazing how people forget the 14 pre-Terrell Davis seasons before it happened. All Jake did was win games and go to the playoffs every year.

Gotta love the Plummer haters don't ya? This same group of fans will go on and on and on on these boards spouting off how happy they were winning games with Manning last season yet they hate the guy who still owns the best winning percentage in Broncos history.

Makes no sense. But hey, they also think BO will turn out to be the next Aaron Rodgers so what do you expect... Lol

So how does flipping them off solve that problem? Answer: it doesn't.

Boo-birds are part of the deal if you want to play pro sports. Plummer knew that in high school, in college, and during his pro career. If he didn't want to deal with it, he should have found a different line of work. Instead, he took the millions the fans gave him, and disrespected them.

Sorry, he earned their disrespect with that stunt.

He actually saved his money, stayed out of trouble, left the game healthy, and went fishing for a few years. Gotta love the self-reliant spirit.

don't forget that too that he wasn't afraid of or impressed with Mike (the over rated former egomaniac at Dove Valley). He refused the trade to Tampa Bay and went out on his own terms instead of letting little Mikey get the final say.

I caught the winning percentage alright, but "winningest" means something else. Like when a coach sets a record for winningest coach in history, it is because he has more wins under his belt. Has nothing to do with the percentage.

I do consider him the second best QB in our history though. At least, post-dinosaur era. (Someone will no doubt post the name of some QB that played 35 - 40 years ago or so, but I'm not old enough to have seen these guys play.)
